    I have made these Open Original Shared Link I have only tried the main one so far, but they were a success!

    Could you tell me about these other celiac genes? I did have mine tested through Enterolab. Do they test for all the ones you are referring to? My mom has damage that is irreversible, having had more surgeries than I can count on both hands. However, I'm hoping a gluten-free diet would slow down or stop more inflammation and future damage. Her...

    My mother has severe RA. I think she is finally listening to me about gluten probably playing a role in it. I sent her a list of tests to have her rheumatologist run. Since I went the route of Enterolab, I just pulled the list from online. DGP (Deamidated gliadin peptide antibody) tTG-IgA or tissue transglutaminase-IgA AGA-IgG or Antigliadin IgG...

    This topic has been so helpful! I'm only a little over 2 months into being gluten-free and didn't have noticable symptoms to start with. I wasn't sure if I would know if I were glutened or not. Well, I think I found out! After dinner a few days ago, I began to feel dizzy and have abdominal/gas pains/bloating. The next day it continued till evening...

    Please bear with me with this thought, as it really does relate in my mind. While I am very new to the gluten free world, I have had to educate myself regarding IgE (immediately life-threatening) food allergies. This issue regarding shared equipment/facilities is a big one. Now, I'd have to search to find the link, it's been so long ago, but I had...

    So many of the recipes I see call for brown rice flour (or regular rice flour). I would rather avoid this if possible. I once saw a chart that compared different gluten-free flours and was amazed at how many more carbs the brown rice flour had over the others. I know, any of the flours will be carb heavy but cutting where I can would be good, I'd think...

    Before going gluten free, I was grinding my own flour and making bread. I figured out that measuring the flour by weight was much more effective. Now I'm at a loss. I do have a new mill and have ground brown rice and sorghum. I'm still looking for some other grains. Does anyone have a list of flour weight equivalents, like 1 cup sorghum flour = x grams...

    They do make them and they are good, too.

    This seems to be our fave recipe also. I also used the extra tapioca flour instead and wondering what difference it made, if any. So, what does the dried milk do, anyway? I have another question about this and other gluten-free pizza recipes. Is it normal to have a layer of what looks like "not done" crust when it really is done? This happens with...

    Wow, I am appalled at some of the treatment some of you all have received. I can't imagine why some people feel the need to be so mean. I just wonder about this lady who talked to my SIL and about the possible damage she may be doing to her body without her knowing it's going on. Just because she may be feeling better doesn't mean that food isn...

    I agree that the FDA DOES need to force companies to disclose manufacturing processes on labels. I just have to clarify that, as it stands right now, companies only have to label for the top 8 allergens when they are an actual ingredient. Any companies that include wording about "made in the same facility as tree nuts," or "may contain tree nuts," are doing...

    I was talking with my sweet SIL to tell her that we wouldn't be traveling to her house for Easter this year. I felt our gluten-free status was too new and we needed to have that under our belt before we attempt a large gathering like that. She understood and proceeded to tell me about a lady she'd met. This lady told of her numerous food allergies, barely...

    From what I have read on here, yes, gluten sensitivity can cause symptoms just as serious as celiac. I have read some stories of people in serious condition and they don't actually have the common "celiac gene." So, and I'm talking to myself, too, we should take this seriously as to prevent worse from happening. Wow about your stroke! What did the docs...

    Thanks to all for your replies! I think I will check into having my D levels checked. I haven't actally seen a doctor about my gluten issues, so maybe that would be good, as far as checking some levels. Also good reminders that GS is as vital to treat as celiac. This is good timing, as I just got results for my oldest son, which was positive, mildly...

    Hi, and welcome, Megs613! I am pretty much in the same boat as you, except both of my genes are for gluten sensitivity. From reading the FAQ's on the Enterolab website, ANY elevated result means that your body IS reacting to gluten. They liken it to a pregnancy test - either you are pregnant or you aren't. I have to think through this myself because...
